    Well there's a movie I'll go and see! But to be serious, if downsizing could be done it would still be a temporary measure because we'd run out of room at (say) 1 trillion people, and being so small, cats and dogs, rats and mice and bugs would be a real scary danger.

    Somewhere I read that the dumbest folks are often the ones who think they're the smartest. There a volumes of research into this stuff.

    How easy is it to swap magnetos over? If the fault follows the magneto then the magneto is the fault. Shorted turns most likely Page 21, section 3.13 in the Engine Maintenance Manual (JEM0002-7) gives the resistance readings. Maybe running a good multi-meter over the coils to check them out. Just a thought. Good luck...

    You are not wrong.

    Perhaps the pilot reported loss of 'bladder' control after engine failure?

    So I'm sitting here with my freckle tightened up waiting for an almighty boom....

    Back in the 90's I was flying a Tobago from Waikerie to Tailem Bend. I noticed to my left a plane, and that plane stayed in the same spot on my window for quite some time. We were on converging tracks for Tailem Bend. I did a R.H. orbit to let him get ahead. Had I been sleeping he may not have seen me and that could have been nasty. I guess VOR's and NDB's are concentrating points as well.

    My experience with IR suggests the opposite - IR systems need to be cool as possible because the heat would swamp the signal. The IR systems I have played with at work use nitrogen to cool the detectors to -200° C

    They'll turn it into rocket science! Somebody will develop a system that that does some image processing and moisture measurements and feeds that data into some 'AI' processing neural network thingo that determines if the light should be off or on. Far better than a pilot operating a switch on the dash.

    Just downloaded it to my Samsung tablet. I'll have a play and report back. Only took a minute to setup and activate.

    The question about background and English was all that showed up in my previous post, there was more but it just disappeared.
  12. Jabiru7252
    What's your background - seems English is not your first language...

    The news report I saw (Ch 9) said the plane flipped. As yet I have no idea what happened. Was it a landing gone wrong or a forced landing?

    Often I see aircraft identifying as R-NOT-S on Oz Runways. Sometimes it's doing 90kts down low, other times it's at FL30 and doing several hundred knots. Anybody know what the R-NOT-S means?

    If there's going to be a punch-up on this thread, please let me know. I'll grab some popcorn and watch because there is sweet FA on tele, that's for sure.....

    If we reduced our use of resources to just 1% of what we use now it wouldn't matter. Population growth is not being addressed and the fact is one day we'll run out of room. Imagine 50 billion or 100 billion trying to eat, sleep, take a dump and stay alive on a planet that struggles with 7.5 billion.

    Well, my Jab has never had a water leak, gearbox problems or unbalanced carbies....

    Yea, but out all the trips they did I bet most were lost at sea. These days we seem to create 'touchy-feely-stories' that defy the odds. Some are so ridiculous, it's laughable.
  19. Jabiru7252
    It appears the wankers who create the news articles added the 'old' news, creating a false belief. Such unprofessional behavior.

    Work up Monday 13th to hear a 65 yo was killed near Darwin in a plane crash and another plane with two on board is missing in NSW.

    8 out of 3 are to some degree...

    Let's say you buy a Hangar for $35,000. You rent it out for $50 a week. That's about thirteen and a half years to get that money back and that's not including any other costs you may incur.

    Have a look at this link

    How this comment applies to Ham Radio is amazing. When we actually built our own gear and got it on air - what a thrill that was. Now you buy the gear from China and get on air but hardly know how the stuff works and still think 'skip' is something the radio has. The dumbing down of society is such a crime.

    My Jabiru shares a hangar with an FK9. I know heaps of folks who have flown the plane and like it. Some say the flap speed is so low that you have to get them up real quick after take-off. One day I'll get a ride in the thing.
